West Yorkshire Hotels for Holy Trinity Church in Leeds

Holy Trinity Church in Leeds is relatively young. Its foundation stone was laid as recently as 1722, which is like yesterday by the standards of English ecclesiastical architecture! We have Elizabeth Hastings, also known as Lady Betty, a daughter of the Earl of Huntingdon and a local benefactress, to thank for the project. Her brainchild was backed by merchants in the community, and the architect was William Etty of York. Whether you're passing through Leeds or staying at a West Yorkshire hotel here you'll be welcome to come and worship and spend time in contemplation, or simply enjoy the ambience and architecture of the church.
